Shoe with Heel Transmitter

A shoe with heel transmitter is a tool mainly used by the American Mafia and Russian Mafia against a police officer or government agent. A transmitter, microphone, and batteries are imbedded within the heel of the target’s shoe. Someone with access to the law enforcement officer or agent’s shoes (usually a maid, valet, friend, or family member) will lay out the rigged shoes and pull out a white pin, not knowing quite what it is and unknowingly activating the transmitter. The target then becomes a walking radio station, transmitting all top secret conversations to the gang. This method is also very effective in finding out whether or not someone is a mole. This way, they are let in on the law enforcement official’s plans, including arrests they’re planning against the gang.
